I need to contact Rob Legg urgently re tracing my grt Uncle now aged 91yrs old who had a boat made by Rob in 1982. (the "Just Cruisin" RL28 )Grt Uncle... John SYMONDS ex Merchant Navy.. (known as Jack Symonds who used to live in Cardwell- Cairns-Bundaburg). His boat was on a hardstand at Mooloolba Yacht Club.. & used as a Bare Boat Charter around Hinchinbrook Island. DOES anyone know the whereabouts of my Uncle John (Jack) Symonds. Please see my website & click on SYMONDS Clan to see our history. John Symonds was the son of Capt Job Augustus Symonds & Winifred.

oops .. I forgot to tell you my webpage re SYMONDS. Once at the site ... click on SYMONDS CLAN top right.

Sorry to get OFF Topic lads... but we are organising a Family Reunion... on Rottnest Island for the Symonds Clan... & John Symonds(known as Jack Symonds) is the only one we can't find .. to invite. Getting desperate now.

False alarm.
I put Laura in touch with the previous owners of Just Cruisin & she since tells me it was the wrong John Symonds.
It sounded very likely, but the former RL owner turned out to be too young (unlike most of us!) to be her man. Oh well...
